August 2008 by Marc Jacob
Lumension Security™, Inc., a global security management company, announced that its Sanctuary endpoint security suite has been named the winner in eWeek’s Eighth Annual Excellence Awards Program, in the Security category. Sanctuary is recognized for its deep and powerful endpoint protection solution that utilizes whitelists and strong lock-down controls to ensure only IT-sanctioned applications are running on employee computers.
According to eWEEK, “The security strategy that many experts now see as the best option for protecting corporate systems is the lock-down approach—where no code or application can run that hasn’t been given explicit permission to run. This is the approach that is taken by Lumension Security’s Sanctuary 4.2. Sanctuary is a deep and powerful endpoint protection solution that utilizes whitelists and strong lock-down controls to ensure only IT-sanctioned apps are running on employee computers.”
